in jhb you can check bmwfanatics out and the community is a lot larger that side of the world with more gatherings.
check breakers out, i've seen a few xenon headlights being sold. it will require coding to the car. or you could contact violet electronics as i think they do xenon retrofits to your existing headlight housing. i remember seeing the conversions on their fb page. so you do have options.

It is unfortunate having to learn these things the hard way, but I appreciate you letting me know so I don't mess it up!
Also my cousin told me about BMW Fanatics years ago, it's been a while since I have tuned in with them, will definitely need to organise something!
And many many thanks for the advice on the Xenons!
I will definitely get in contact with breakers, hopefully we can get it to work, it will completely transform the front of the car!
